Thrifty Inspiration: Felt Flower Pillows

I've got a little confession to make.  I love making changes to my rooms that make a big impact.  I am a DIYaholic.  Tearing out sinks, drywalling and tiling are in my repertoire, as well as sewing and painting.  Complete room makeovers are expensive, so this year I am doing some small things to make my rooms more inviting.

If you read my post yesterday, you probably know I bought a cozy green chair and ottoman for my bedroom seating area.  I am tossing out a broken glider I bought six years ago when my son was born.  I have updated my bedding and need some throw pillows for the chair and bed.

Have you seen the prices of pillows lately?  A nice throw pillow can easily cost $20.  I am thinking five or six pillows would be perfect but I am certainly not spending $120!

With a little help from the Sue Harris Blog, I know where I am going with my pillow update!  I'll be buying some inexpensive fabric and felt and reusing some old pillows for stuffing!  I love the textured pillows in the back (top picture) and the felt flowers on the pillow in the front.  I'll be keeping this project under $20.
